Today we headed out on a trip to the Ratchaprapha Dam. This is in a valley about 60km from where we are staying. The dam was constructed in the 80s to allow the building of a power station. In the process hundreds of families who lived in the original vallies were flooded out of the homes and land …

2/21 - Trip Prep (or lack thereof) - So we had three consecutive days off (Feb 22-24) and there was much discussion of trying to set up a trip somewhere for the time frame.  But every plan seemed to have some negatives (too expensive, too similar to where we were, etc).  Finally on the da…

Living in Phuket jan-mar 2009

Kyllastyin Phuketiin ja paatin lahea pois rannoilta luonnon keskelle. Eero, Matti ja Mikko jaivat viela paivaksi sairastamaan ja lahtivat sitten yhdelle saarelle. Niinpa lahdin matkaan yksin, ensimmaista kertaa.Khao Sokin luonnonpuisto on muutaman tunnin bussimatkan paasta Phuketista. Kuulin tasta …

The First two days spent in Bangkok before i set off for the 29 day trip down to Bali.

I spent a couple of weeks in Philippines, and VietNam. I was in Thailand for over a month. There were a few days of fun passed in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

The train was late as the later train overturned, killling 7 people. Met the new group who are nice although one of them is an obvious drug addict but a nice bloke all the same. Took a bus ride to Koh Sok National Park. Scenery was becoming more and more tropical. Very pretty like the north. The sp…

Khao Sok - Where we finally cracked. A combination of heat, mosquitos and NO SLEEP FOR 14 days! We hired ourselves a 200 BHT bungalow....BIG MISTAKE. It was 38 degrees, the fan was broken, there were no windows, it was infested with ants, spiders, and rats...and in the middle of the night a tiger t…

We arrived in Kao Sok as the two tiredest people in the world after a recent burst of constant travelling involving two overnight ferries, where the sleeping deck is a row of mattresses and the lights NEVER GET TURNED OFF!! So we found ourselves with an offer of a chaep bungalow which we took and t…

A trip to Southern Thailand (Khao Sok National Park, Koh Phan Ngan, Koh Samui, Surat Thani, Bangkok).

Travels of Livia and I around South East Asia,and what accidently included China and Hong Kong as well (we were due to fly to Bangkok during the December riots, thus the airport was closed and got diverted to Hong Kong...) NB: The title is a mix of our surnames

i've finally managed to escape the oh-so-fascinating world of hedge fund finance, and am now decadently indulging my long-suppressed wanderlust with 15 months on the road and around the world... *note: apart from the odd review (generally of something not found in your standard guide book), this is really more just a map of my travels than a proper blog, but if you want more information on anywhere i`ve been or what i`ve been up to, send me a message and i`ll see if i can rustle something up.

Today, a group of us went tubing down the river that goes past the huts we are staying in, in the National Park. The setting is amazing. It feels like we are in the middle of nowhere, just nature an everything chilled...sweet! The staff are so lovely, a family I think that love joking around. Makes…
